Lion Stout

this beer is a great value. It is a quality stout in aroma appearance flavor and palate. Good aroma of chocolate and hops. This carries through into the flavour. Very good mouthfeel, carbonation is subtle. This is a solid beer for a great price. A keeper for sure. update did a blind tasting with this, kalamazoo stout from bells and la granja. Noticed more of a winey aroma and taste relative to the others that I didn’t pick up on when I drank it alone. Good brew

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a black with a little brownish head. Nice aromas of malt/coffee and a hint of chocolate. A little bitter in the flavor of coffee/chocolate.

[Bottle] Pours thick black with a moderate tan head. Aroma is sweet malt, dark chocolate, and some hops. Very rich and malty. Lots of chocolate and roasted barley. Slightly sweet.

Now this is a man’s stout! Pours completely opaque black with a dark thick head. The roasted malts along with the hops comes out pretty nice in the flavor. There are also hints of chocolate and coffee. It’s fairly nice beer that is good for an after dinner drink.

Pours black with nice dense tan head. Slight chocolate malt aroma. Slightly roasty malt profile and a thin palate. Basically an underwhelming stout, more like a dark lager.

Pours black with a brown head. Faint aroma of toasted grain, chocolate, and coffee overtones. Flavor is sweet, mild, fairly simple. Maybe its the ABV level, but thoughts of malt liquor popped in my head as I sampled this - the same generic sweetness and ethanol flavor. Don’t get me wrong - I like malt liquor and I like this as well, but there are much better, more flavorful, stouts out there.

Black pour with reddish background Dark tan thich head. Aroma of coffee, cardamon, molassas and alcohol. Peaty up front, coffee mid and chocolate finish with a metalic undertone. Decent smoothness. I deduct for the metal but add huge for the extreme value.

This was particularly different. I liked the smooth silky texture and the nice look of the beer with the big tan head and the deep color. The flavor is somewhat strange and the first things that come to mind are molasses and corn flakes, but as the bottle comes along it does have nice chocolate notes, and some espresso. Alltogether this was a little sweet for me, but I will certinally buy it again.
